Prevalence of sulfonamide resistance genes in bacterial isolates from manured agricultural soils and pig slurry in the United Kingdom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Prevalence of three sulfonamide resistance genes, sul1, sul2 and sul3 and sulfachloropyridazine (SCP) resistance was determined in bacteria isolated from UK manured agricultural clay soils and slurry samples, over a two year period.

Porin‐Independent Uptake of Small Molecule Antibiotics Facilitated by Escherichia coli Outer Membrane Vesicles

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) can enhance antibiotic delivery into Gram‐negative bacteria by bypassing porin‐dependent uptake. Encapsulation of imipenem in OMVs significantly increased its effectiveness against multidrug‐resistant clinical isolates, highlighting OMVs as a promising platform for overcoming permeability ...

Causal Relationship Between Gut Microbiota and Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Analyses, 16S rRNA Sequencing and Clinical Retrospective Study. [PDF]

open access: yesFood Sci Nutr
Our study supports a potential causal role of gut microbiota in benign prostatic hyperplasia, with Escherichia–Shigella emerging as a key contributor and predictor of lower urinary tract symptom severity. These findings may provide insights for future therapeutic interventions targeting microbial dynamics in the treatment of benign prostatic ...

Deciphering the catalytic and pharmacological mechanisms of Coptis chinensis herbzymes to renovate intestinal microenvironment for colitis alleviation

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The synthesized CCzymes possess both antioxidant enzyme activity and pharmacological properties inherent to Coptis chinensis. By their antioxidant enzyme activity, CCzymes can attenuate oxidative stress within the inflammatory region of ulcerative colitis (UC), while their pharmacological activity acts on macrophage polarization and the intestinal ...

Evaluating Shigella flexneri Pathogenesis in the Human Enteroid Model

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 2019
The enteric pathogen Shigella is one of the leading causes of moderate-to-severe diarrhea and death in young children in developing countries. Transformed cell lines and animal models have been widely used to study Shigella pathogenesis.
